Courts

As the Senate prepares for confirmation hearings next year on Supreme Court nominee Judge Samuel Alito, two leading attorneys take a closer look at Alito's extensive legal history on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Mark Levy, an attorney with Kilpatrick Stockton and a longtime friend of Judge Alito, and Glenn Sugameli, an attorney with Earthjustice, discuss Alito's record on the Commerce Clause, environmental groups' standing to bring lawsuits against polluters, and the political battles ahead during the confirmation process.
